It Just Had to Happen… Company Logos (Ads) on Google Maps

Google Australia have just launched a test phase in which they are showing company logos as map points on a Google Map search. The logic behind this is that when a map comes up in search then people will recognize the logo and find an easy way to navigate to that selected location. At the moment all locations have the same kind of marker so no one organisation has an advantage.
When the logo is clicked then information about the organisation shows up.
It appears that the intention is to charge such organisations for each display of the logo on a map.
